Experts disagree on the etiology and definition of dyslexia. Neurological research is ongoing but is not yet conclusive. Specific educational techniques for diagnosis and remediation are available. Physicians can serve on multidisciplinary diagnostic teams and can act to support and provide informational resources to affected families.
